The jungles of the Democratic Republic of Congo,and also Uganda and Cameroon, are supposed to be where the J'ba Fofi dwells. These spiders are supposed to be huge and deadly.
The J'ba Fofi is said to resemble the tarantula in colour and looks, but the difference is, the J'ba Fofi is said to have a leg span of up to six feet. There have been many accounts of people seeing these giant spiders, and the natives have many stories about their encounters with them.
So, could there really be a giant spider living in the jungles of Africa?

It's 6.45 am on Friday, here in sunny South Africa when my wife called me to see the biggest RainSpider we have had in a long time. We normally catch them and then throw them out into the garden. This one proved a little more of a contest.
Before you say anything the reason why she is catching and not me is because she is not very good a capturing the video. That's what I say an I'm sticking to it.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the world’s largest spider is the Goliath birdeater native to South America. These huge spiders can weigh more than 6 ounces, with legs spanning up to a foot.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the world’s largest spider is the Goliath birdeater.
Native to South America, these huge spiders can weigh more than 6 ounces, with legs spanning up to a foot.
Piotr Naskrecki, an entomologist and photographer at Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology, studied the birdeater spiders, and compared them to the size of a puppy.
While some experts think that the giant huntsman spider is larger because of its impressive leg span, the birdeater spiders are actually more massive.
They are named birdeaters because one was observed eating a hummingbird, but their diet mainly consists of earthworms and other small animals they find on the ground in their jungle habitat.
Even though these spiders aren’t deadly to humans, they can still inflict some damage with their two inch fangs. They also have microscopic barbs on their hair that when stuck on a predator, can cause pain, itchiness, and discomfort for days.
Naskrecki is quoted as saying: "I've been working in the tropics in South America for many, many years, and in the last 10 to 15 years, I only ran across the spider three times."
He captured one female specimen in Guyana, which was given to a museum after being studied.

This spider was relaxing in my house in Tugela Ferry, South Africa when I started hassling it a bit. I was struck by how fast it runs while keeping its legs from tangling. The video was shot at 60 frames per second which allowed for some slow motion clips. The moderately slow clips are 1/4 speed. The slower ones are around 1/10.
I believe these are known as wall crab spiders here and are commonly found in houses. They have flat bodies and legs with long spines, likely used for sensing movement in their environment.
They belong to the family Selenopidae.
I shot this with a Panasonic HC-V700 that I picked up used on ebay. I am happy with it so far.

Wentworth was easily identified as The Spider by his enemies in a number of earlier novels and was arrested by the police but quickly escaped, adopting a disguise and associated alias Tito Caliepi, donning make-up, a wig of lank hair, a black cape, and slouch hat. Later in the pulp series, vampire-like makeup appeared and then a face mask with grizzled hair; a hunchback was then added to terrorize the criminal underworld with The Spider's brand of violent vigilante justice. (Actor and comedian Harold Lloyd previously had used a similar mask, lank hair wig, and hunchback in the comedy film Dr. Jack (1922)). Caliepi sometimes begged, utilizing Wentworth's talent with a violin.

Background

The initial idea for the song came from David Paich. Jeff Porcaro explains the idea behind the song: "a boy is trying to write a song on Africa, but since he's never been there, he can only tell what he's seen on TV or remembers in the past."

David Paich said: "At the beginning of the '80s I watched a late night documentary on TV about all the terrible death and suffering of the people in Africa. It both moved and appalled me and the pictures just wouldn't leave my head. I tried to imagine how I'd feel about if I was there and what I'd do."

Musically the song took quite some time to assemble, as Paich and Porcaro explain:

Background

Africa and De viris illustribus were partially inspired by Petrarch's visit to Rome in 1337. According to Bergin and Wilson (p. ix). It seems very likely that the inspirational vision of the Eternal City must have been the immediate spur to the design of the Africa and probably De viris illustribus as well. After returning from his grand tour, the first sections of Africa were written in the valley of Vaucluse. Petrarch recalls

The fact that he abandoned it early on is not entirely correct since it was far along when he received two invitations (from Rome and from Paris) in September 1340 each asking him to accept the crown as poet laureate. A preliminary form of the poem was completed in time for the laurel coronation April 8, 1341 (Easter Sunday).

Africa (Perpetuum Jazzile album)

Africa is 2009 Perpetuum Jazzile album. By large most successful song from the album is a capella version of Toto's "Africa", the performance video of which has received more than 15 million YouTube views since its publishing in May 2009 until September 2013.

South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world. Two of these languages are of European origin: Afrikaans developed from Dutch and serves as the first language of most white and coloured South Africans; English reflects the legacy of British colonialism, and is commonly used in public and commercial life, though it is fourth-ranked as a spoken first language.

Apartheid

Apartheid (Afrikaans pronunciation:[ɐˈpartɦɛit]; an Afrikaans word meaning "separateness", or "the state of being apart", literally "apart-hood") was a system of racial segregation in South Africa enforced through legislation by the National Party (NP), the governing party from 1948 to 1994. Under apartheid, the rights, associations, and movements of the majority black inhabitants and other ethnic groups were curtailed, and white minority rule was maintained. Apartheid was developed after World War II by the Afrikaner-dominated National Party and Broederbond organizations. The ideology was also enforced in South West Africa, which was administered by South Africa under a League of Nations mandate (revoked in 1966 via United Nations Resolution 2145), until it gained independence as Namibia in 1990. By extension, the term is currently used for forms of systematic segregation established by the state authority in a country against the social and civil rights of a certain group of citizens due to ethnic prejudices.

Plot

The Goodies are hired by a maniacally racist South African Tourist Agent to make an advertisement encouraging Britons to come to South Africa. However, the tourist agent is unhappy with what they have done, since they showed black people in South Africa having a good time. Tim points out that South Africa has many black people, but the Tourist Agent retorts that they are not having a good time. The enraged agent forces the Goodies to emigrate to South Africa.

The influx of tourist boats the Goodies' advertisement brings allows the black people an opportunity to get away from South Africa, leading to apartheid segregation disintegrating. To keep the economy going, apartheid is replaced by the new segregation of apartheight (apart-height). Tim and Graeme are tall enough not to be affected — but Bill is not quite tall enough. Bill, and the South African jockeys, are now treated as the second class citizens of South Africa, and are put under curfew. Bill is also forced to work for Tim and Graeme, who both take full advantage of Bill's newly disadvantaged position and treat him like a slave. Bill takes charge of the situation, and he and the jockeys rebel and eventually win out against their 'masters'.

Piotr Naskrecki, an entomologist and photographer at Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology, studied the birdeater spiders, and compared them to the size of a puppy.
While some experts think that the giant huntsman spider is larger because of its impressive leg span, the birdeater spiders are actually more massive.
They are named birdeaters because one was observed eating a hummingbird, but their diet mainly consists of earthworms and other small animals they find on the ground in their jungle habitat.
Even though these spiders aren’t deadly to humans, they can still inflict some damage with their two inch fangs. They also have microscopic barbs on their hair that when stuck on a predator, can cause pain, itchiness, and discomfort for days.
Naskrecki is quoted as saying: "I've been working in the tropics in South America for many, many years, and in the last 10 to 15 years, I only ran across the spider three times."
He captured one female specimen in Guyana, which was given to a museum after being studied.

This spider was relaxing in my house in Tugela Ferry, South Africa when I started hassling it a bit. I was struck by how fast it runs while keeping its legs from tangling. The video was shot at 60 frames per second which allowed for some slow motion clips. The moderately slow clips are 1/4 speed. The slower ones are around 1/10.
I believe these are known as wall crab spiders here and are commonly found in houses. They have flat bodies and legs with long spines, likely used for sensing movement in their environment.
They belong to the family Selenopidae.
I shot this with a Panasonic HC-V700 that I picked up used on ebay. I am happy with it so far.

J'ba Fofi - The giant spider of Africa

If you like my videos, please like and subscribe :)
The jungles of the Democratic Republic of Congo,and also Uganda and Cameroon, are supposed to be where the J'ba Fofi dwells. These spiders are supposed to be huge and deadly.
The J'ba Fofi is said to resemble the tarantula in colour and looks, but the difference is, the J'ba Fofi is said to have a leg span of up to six feet. There have been many accounts of people seeing these giant spiders, and the natives have many stories about their encounters with them.
So, could there really be a giant spider living in the jungles of Africa?

What seemed like a harmless enough spider bite on his knee turned into a full-blown medical emergency and essential repatriation for treatment - and the premature end to the trip of a lifetime.
KirkHollis and SethWarren were still able to explore a ghost town from the slave trade era, kiteboard remote sandbars of the Indian Ocean, downwind SUP across miles of turquoise ocean all before the emergency evacuation from Matemo Island, Mozambique!
Still, the spider bite caused fevers, septicemia and untold pain and took a dozen injections, countless antibiotics, multiple doctors and two months of recovery, but mostly it created an exciting (if painful) ending to an amazing trip.
Sometimes the best adventures don't always turn out as expected, but that just makes planning for the next one that much more fun.

Rain Spider South Africa

It's 6.45 am on Friday, here in sunny South Africa when my wife called me to see the biggest RainSpider we have had in a long time. We normally catch them and then throw them out into the garden. This one proved a little more of a contest.
Before you say anything the reason why she is catching and not me is because she is not very good a capturing the video. That's what I say an I'm sticking to it.

This Puppy-Sized Spider Will Haunt Your Dreams

Wentworth was easily identified as The Spider by his enemies in a number of earlier novels and was arrested by the police but quickly escaped, adopting a disguise and associated alias Tito Caliepi, donning make-up, a wig of lank hair, a black cape, and slouch hat. Later in the pulp series, vampire-like makeup appeared and then a face mask with grizzled hair; a hunchback was then added to terrorize the criminal underworld with The Spider's brand of violent vigilante justice. (Actor and comedian Harold Lloyd previously had used a similar mask, lank hair wig, and hunchback in the comedy film Dr. Jack (1922)). Caliepi sometimes begged, utilizing Wentworth's talent with a violin.
